Renewably Sourced Meets Performance in Zytel® RS

Zytel® RS renewably sourced nylon resins are based on the Zytel® PA1010 and PA610 grades, which are designed for high strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and overall durability.

Replacing Hydrocarbons With Castor Oil

The renewable biopolymer content in Zytel® RS grades comes from sebacic acid that has been extracted from castor oil, a non-food, plant based source. There is a broad range of grades available, with renewable content ranging from 20% to 100%.

Matching Grades with Applications

Part of making renewably sourced biopolymers a realistic option is offering a wide range of grades for customers to choose from for different applications. Here are the Zytel® grades available now:
